  • Build strong relationships across council services and external partners.
  • Challenge existing systems and contribute to service improvement through evidence-based insights.

What We're Looking For:

  • Strong understanding of relevant legislation, policies, and procedures.
  • Excellent communication and advocacy skills, especially in tribunal settings.
  • Ability to work flexibly and make robust decisions in challenging situations.
  • Commitment to putting residents at the heart of service delivery.

Why Apply?

  • Opportunity to make a meaningful impact in the community.
  • Collaborative and supportive working environment.
  • Hybrid working arrangements.
